when ever I'm with a rather salacious lady, there can be a pop up party.

Won't be posting vids or images as that definitely breaks NDA (and is identifiable) but I can give you a general overview about day 1. I made a special account to do this to avoid doxxing but I am a regular poster.
Positives: Item 2.0 revamps look super nice. The details on the new ships really show how much time they've put into them. They look great.
The stamina system and UI changes are fun and top notch. Some animation issues but that can be cleaned up pretty easy.
Cargo is simple point A to point B. Functional (well with the usual alpha bugs). But numbers go up and down.
Moons are moons. Think like smaller ED moons with a bit more terrain. pretty cool. They need to update the procedural generation as many mountain ranges are very clearly just mirrored or identical over small areas.
Negative so far: I average FPS in the teens on my hefty rig. The servers though are REALLY not stable. Anything more than 3-4 people on the server and things just fall apart. Its currently limited to something like half a dozen players in one instance but you'd never notice because you aren't getting that high and not crashing. I've never had an evocati even half this bad. The netcode fixes can't come soon enough.


I am completely shocked that's all he has to report on such a critical and much anticipated patch.

Pros: you can make numbers go up and down really well

Cons: the game is hardly functioning and multiplayer is unplayable

Let's not derail the thread and stick to what it was made for : animes. I liked the 2nd season of attack on the titans, but it could have used 12 more episodes.

To quote myself from Discord: if your whole schtick is “I'll show them! I'll show them all!”, then someone “showing them” something that's not part of the plan will obviously be a bad thing and needs to be rooted out and punished.

Meanwhile, the guys who should be upset about being made part of this bout of egomania have themselves gotten caught up in an affectation of being part of a select group, where being in possession of that juicy stuff marked “top secret” is a reward in and of itself. It makes them feel important, and — if it's slightly hidden — smart enough to spot the mark itself. Making it actually hidden and dull — which would be the correct thing to do — would defeat all that and rob them of the self-satisfaction that turns them into self-appointed guardians who help lash out at anyone who ruins the plan of “showing them all.”

So both parties have an interest in making it a secret, and a blindingly obvious one at that.

There's a good 'before' and 'after' couple of pics of the worktops the CIG coffee machine sit on in your thread Bootcha. I remember we all had a minor discussion about the disgusting state of their worktops and couldn't work out if it was the worktop pattern or just really disgustingly filthy.

Good to have some closure on it tbh, turns out it is indeed disgustingly filthy in a 'breach of health and safety in the workplace' and 'high risk of biohazard' kind of way. :)
